Some of you may have already known this...
I just found out that the guy who plays the preacher (that bunnny had to explain Amsterdamn to and Cutty got help from) is the REAL LIFE Stringer Bell. Supposedly, he and the writer (the REAL LIFE McNulty) are friends now, even though they were enemies. I heard they even have lunch together and discuss ideas for the series. You may be thinking "That guy is old", but the WIRE storyline is based on what happened in the 80's. They just changed it to make it seem as if it occurs in the present.
So even though Stringer dies in the series, he is alive in reality.
That's strange, because the preacher doesn't look like he was tough enough to be a NUMBER 2 guy in the game. Still, Stringer was never really all that hard anyway. He was a businessman. Plus, you can't tell how hard someone is by their look or demeanor. Look at Marlo, he doesn't look tough either, but he runs a cold crew and he is extremely street smart for his age.
I also heard that Season Four will focus more on Marlo and his crew. They will be a rival crew who will try to take over and force Marlo out. I am not sure how the detail will be set up and who will be on it. Again, McNulty was the sole reason why each WIRE was up, but he walks the beat. It will be intersting to see who will take his place, if he is no longer involved. My guess would be Bunk, since he catches a lot of the murders.
